The company redeveloping the Fire Blocks District has branched out into residential real estate in Dayton and has acquired some small and midsized apartment buildings and properties.
Columbus-based Windsor Companies has invested millions of dollars converting old and deteriorating office and commercial buildings downtown Dayton into new housing, retail and food and beverage space.
But the company has purchased and started fixing up some vacant and rundown apartment buildings in other neighborhoods, including in northwest and east Dayton, according to Montgomery County Auditor real estate records.
Neighbors and others hope the company will have the same kind of success reviving blighted and underutilized residential properties as it has had revitalizing commercial real estate.
